Leaf Cutter ants are one of the hardest ant species to control. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites, Maxforce Complete Granules containing hydramethlynon are some what effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times. DeltaGard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.

Bifen granules can be used for eliminating a variety of insects in a lawn, however it would have no effect on moles currently in your yard. When treating for an animal you must treat for the animal directly, not indirectly. You would want to look over our Mole Control Guide and see what the options are for mole treatments to find the one that best suits your needs. There are step by step instructions and pro tips to help you get the most from your treatments. You can use poisons, traps, gassers, and in some instances repellents although that would be used more so after a problem had already been eliminated from the yard. Poisons worms like Talpirid are the most effective, however if you do not follow the instructions strictly and test the runs for multiple days before placing the worms in the designated areas you will fail every time. If you need assistance on how to place baits to have them work for your needs feel free to give us a call and we can go over the application with you and make sure you are not doing anything that could be working against your treatment.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules would be considered a repellent as far as social insects, such as ants, are concerned. This is because the product kills insects quickly which come in contact with treated areas, as opposed to the slower action in non-repellent products which allow the active ingredient time to transfer among social insects. This product is not specifically labeled to kill eggs but will affect the larvae of labeled pests.
We apologize, but we don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting to apply Bifen Granules is as follows:
If you need to use 3lbs of product per 1,000 sq ft you would add 3 lb of product to spreader, start with a medium setting, then apply product to a 20 x 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft). If you have product left, your setting is too low. If you run out of product, your setting is too high.
